Maths Curriculum Guide Level 7

Foreword
It is acknowledged that thorough planning is essential for effective teaching and learning. Such planning is even more critical today when one considers the limited resources, both human and material, which are available. The Ministry of Education, through the Secondary School Reform Project (SSRP), has developed curriculum materials that have been designed to improve the quality, equity and efficiency of secondary education. The curriculum materials include Levels 7-9 curriculum guides and teachers guides for Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Reading and Practical Activities for Science. These materials have been tested in secondary-age schools nationwide and are considered useful in providing teachers with a common curriculum framework for planning, monitoring and evaluating the quality of teaching and learning. The curriculum materials also provide a basis for continuous student assessment leading to the National Third Form Examination (NTFE). The initial draft curriculum materials have been subjected to evaluation, by respective Heads of Departments, from all ten Administrative Regions and Georgetown and they have been subsequently revised to reflect the views expressed by teachers. The revised curriculum materials are now published as National Curriculum documents to provide consistency and support for teachers in the process of planning for an effective delivery of the curriculum. All secondary teachers must ensure that they make good use of these curriculum materials so that the quality of teaching and learning can be improved in all schools. Ed Caesar Chief Education Officer
PREFACE
This is the Revised Curriculum Guide for Level 7. This document fulfils the objective of making Mathematics accessible to all students at Level 7. Hence teachers of Level 7 students should make a conscious effort to see how best they could utilize the ideas contained to plan for instruction. This document can serve as a focal point for departmental and regional subject committee meetings, where methodologies and strategies for both teaching and assessing are deliberated on. Lessons should be delivered in an environment in which there is opportunity for active and creative participation by both students and teacher. This Guide has a direct focus on an integrated approach to curriculum delivery, in which the teacher is not unduly restricted by the subject content. The students total development as a person should be of foremost concern to the teacher. In the curriculum process, feedback is a necessary condition for change and improvement, and I would urge all of our mathematics teachers to provide such feedback to the curriculum staff as they visit to provide support that will enhance your classroom teaching.
